I've done a home test this morning just cause I'm curious.

It’s good, it’s just that as there are no shops to go to and ours is in the Town Hall in the middle of the high street, maybe let people know!

Two of the managers on my workplace are currently stuck in India.
They won't be able to come back until after the new year.
But the people covering for them are doing a great job.
They're working flat out without any days off and under intense pressure.

It may seem commendable to work that way but it really isn't. Especially in a pandemic you need rest or you'll get run down and more susceptible to all kinds of nasties.

We are in a similar position Vanessa where you are asked to work flat out to cover, these are big companies...they won't fall apart if you take your well deserved time off

We all refused after covering hella amounts of shifts this year and they got agency guards in, they cost a bit more that's why they don't like using them.

It's not worth getting stressed or ill over, favours only ever seem to go one way too :/

I hope they get some time off soon, they need it.

[Travel from the UK to France is set to resume on
Wednesday morning - as long as a negative COVID test is provided
by those seeking to make journeys - following an agreement
between the two countries.

More than 2,800 lorries have been left
trapped in Kent after France shut its
border to UK travellers on Sunday night,
following fears over the spread of a new coronavirus variant.]

So if they are doing more and more testing then surely they’re gonna find more and more positive cases ?!?!?
